We're second year, classroom four's The Rainbow Group.
So Yeol.
Pak So Yeol.
Who are you?
Are you all right?
Mom.
- Mom. - She just fell asleep.
Are you in pain? Shall I get the nurse for you?
No.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
But...
How long have I been in the hospital?
Two days?
What about you?
- The lilacs are blooming. - Lilacs?
You can smell the scent of lilacs in the evening air.
The bushes were bare without even any leaves on it when I first came
but spring is somehow already right around the corner.
Come here, butterfly.
Here, butterfly.
It's time to eat.
It's Yang!
You can't get the cat to come to you like that.
Then how do you do it?
How did you do that?
We've just been playing a staring contest for the past few days.
It's a secret.
I didn't see you around this morning.
Where is it that you go every morning?
It's a secret.
Copycat.
Butterfly, you never came up to me all the times that I've called your name
but you dash over when a pretty girl calls you over?
I guess... I am quite pretty.
Okay, I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll teach you my little secret.
Instead of engaging in a staring contest, you have to give kisses.
Kisses?
Yes, cat kisses.
It's a way for you to tell the cat that you like him.
Stare into the cat's eyes, then slowly start to blink your eyes.
You just keep doing that until the cat comes to you.
Like this?
No, not to me. Do it to the cat!
Butterfly.
- He won't come to me. - You made him run away.
Ahjussi, how did you know about Yang being there?
I found him by coincidence the other day.
I think I found him right around the time when you got admitted into the hospital.
But is 'Yang' what you call a cat these days?
Yes, Yang.
But you call him, 'Butterfly', don't you?
That goes to show the age gap between us.
Ahjussi.
You're lonely, aren't you?
That's why you play with Yang, don't you?
Want me to be your friend?
What good will it do for you to be friends with a guy with such a big generation gap?
Ahjussi, are you mad just because I call you, 'Ahjussi'?
No.
You just go have fun with your own friends.
Everyone's busy with their midterms right now.
I don't even have to take the exams right now, so it's really nice.
I guess so.
I bet your friends are very jealous.
Ahjussi.
Is the girl in the bed next to mine your girlfriend?
She's someone I love.
'She's someone I love.'
How cheesy.
Someone I love.
Someone you love?
Wait, come over here for a moment.
Let me give you a knuckle sandwich.
I can't fall asleep.
Have you ever kissed anyone before?
I'm not talking about eye kisses, but a real kiss on the lips.
A real kiss.
I wonder what that feels like.
That tickles.
Do you think...
that I too will be able to...
share a kiss with the person that I love?
Doctor.
Please allow my So Yeol to continue receiving her treatment.
As I've already told you before
chemotherapy will have no effect in the state that she's already in right now.
You told me that she would be fine after the surgery she received two years ago.
I'm sorry, but we'll just have to see what happens for a while longer.
- Move! - Move please!
Move! We need everyone out of the way.
No! Not my son!
No, not my son!
Time of death. 2:24 p.m. May 7th, 2013.
The wing's broken off of it, so I don't think it'll be able to fly away.
It's not like it even has anywhere to go.
Ahjussi.
Can you take me away from here?
It's way too loud in here.
How did you get us in here?
It's because I work here.
I mean, I'll soon be working here.
So this is where you work? That's so cool!
I've completed my training, but I haven't officially started my job yet.
Why not?
Because the day before I was supposed to start my job
we got into the car accident on our way back from visiting my parents' grave site.
Have you brought your girlfriend here before?
No.
She worked so hard to support me while I was busy studying for my exams...
but there's nothing that I've really done for her.
Maybe it would've been better if we never even started dating in the first place.
Every time I had to undergo another surgery, I used to think to myself
that maybe it would be better if I never woke up from my surgery.
My mom works so hard during the day
and comes back to the hospital to take care of me each night.
If I never woke up from my surgery, then she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
I doubt your mom thinks of it that way.
How would you know what my mom is feeling?
There's not a thing I can do for her, and all I ever do is make her suffer.
I know because those who loves another feels the same way about the person that they love.
As long as you're with the person you love, then that's all that matters.
Then...
I'm sure that's how your girlfriend must've felt too.
I'm sure she didn't mind doing any of what she had to do
since she had you by her side.
What?
Nothing.
Maybe I was wrong to think that you were nothing but just a little kid.
I'm 18 years old. I know what love is.
You still don't believe me?
Stupid love like that...
I've done it too.
I'm serious.
Who said anything otherwise?
I believe you.
- I'm telling you that I'm serious. - I'm saying that I believe you.
No, I can tell that you don't believe me.
This one.
That's baby weed grass.
It's a common weed.
Does weeds have a meaning to their name too?
Sure they do.
This flower means... secret love.
Ahjussi.
You're like the flower angel, Lulu.
What's that?
It's a popular comic character who knows everything about flowers.
I just came to know the meanings while studying for my exams.
Then do you know what kind of a meaning rainbow flowers stands for?
Is there such a flower?
You don't know what a rainbow flower is?
It's the miraculous flower Lulu travels all over Europe with her cat to find.
I used to watch the cartoon version of that comic on TV when I was little
and think to myself how I'd travel all over the world to look for the rainbow flower
if I could just get discharged from the hospital.
That's what I used to think about all the time.
Then why don't you get better quickly and go search for your flower?
How can I look for a flower that doesn't even exist?
Unless some sort of a miracle happens.
That's the scent of lilacs. Isn't it?
Yes, you're right.
Ahjussi.
What kind of a meaning does a lilac bush have?
Put this in your mouth and try chewing it.
Then you should be able to figure it out.
You take a bite too!
Can you take a picture for me?
It's so peaceful in here.
Being in here makes it feel like
we're the only two people that exists in the world.
When I'm in the hospital...
I keep hearing strange sounds.
Strange sounds?
The sounds keeps on getting louder and louder and more and more clear
But...
I don't think anyone hears what I hear.
That's probably because your body is in a weakened state.
You'll be fine once you're back to feeling healthy.
Shall we go back now?
Already?
There's one more place that I still want to go see.
Next time.
When?
Next...
Let's go today.
Let's just go today!
- This was it? - What do you mean, this was it?
You have no idea how badly I've wanted to come here.
In a few years, you'll be sick and tired of having to come here all the time.
Come on, let's go inside.
What did you major in? Were you popular with the other students?
Were you a good student?
What about your dreams?
Did you dream of working in an arboretum ever since you were a kid?
Take a deep breath. Why are you so full of questions?
For some strange reason, my head fills up with all these questions whenever I see you.
Isn't there anything that you're curious to find out about me?
Your dreams for the future?
Forget it.
You're not curious about me at all.
But since you've already asked the question
if I had to give an answer to that...
Maybe a news announcer?
Or becoming a member of a girl group?
I think it would be cool to become an actress and I want to become a writer too.
- You think you can do all that? - Of course I can.
But if I had to pick only one...
then I'd want to become a college student.
I want to become a twenty year old college student.
There is one thing that I'm curious about now.
What is it?
The chance to see you regain your health and become a beautiful college student.
What are you doing?
You can't scribble on the desk.
It's not a scribble, it's a magic spell.
[Park So Yeol- Classroom 15.]
Ta da. Classroom 15, Park So Yeol.
Hey, don't you think that this place is perfect?
- What if someone walks in? - Who's going to walk in here?
There's no one in here. It'll remain empty until next lecture.
- Let's go. - No, we can't.
Hold still, okay?
Did you hear that?
No, I didn't hear anything.
Come on, come back here.
- Come on, let's go. - Why? There's no one even in here.
This room is completely empty. What's wrong with you?
Are you okay?
Ahjussi.
Are you aware that you've been smiling and laughing all day?
Have I?
I'm a sick patient with an injured head.
I'm sorry.
Does it really hurt?
- Are you really sorry? - Yes, I really am sorry.
Are you okay?
- Then let's make a bet. - A bet?
The loser grants the winner his or her wishes.
All their wishes, no matter what they are.
Okay, no matter what they are.
Promise me.
- Okay, I promise. - Promise.
You just promised, okay?
Yes!
So Yeol, you brat.
Hm... I wonder what we should do. Oh, how about the meaning of the lilac bush?
If I can guess it correctly, then you have to grant me my wishes.
But if I get it wrong, then I'll grant you your wishes.
Okay, fine.
But you have to guess the answer before the lilac flowers starts to wilt.
Okay, fine.
I'm going to make sure that I win.
- Charge it to 100. - Charged to 100.
In Hae! In Hae!
- In Hae! - In Hae!
Please save my baby's life!
I'm sure everything will be fine.
What we're doing to her isn't right.
We need to think more realistically now.
Brother.
What are you saying right now?
The doctors are saying that there's no hope for her.
Don't listen to him, In Hae.
That's why I told her that she shouldn't be with you right from the beginning.
I told her that being with a man who has no parents or anything to his name
was only going to bring her suffering.
That's enough.
In Hae will hear you.
Holding onto her like this...
could just be selfish on our part.
There's something that I have to find.
Is it something important?
I should've given it to In Hae sooner.
But I never got the chance to give it to her.
I have to...
I have to find it and give it to her.
I'll help you find it.
What is it that you're looking for?
A ring.
A ring?
How are you going to find such a tiny thing like that out here?
What kind of a ring is it?
A tiny shabby gold ring without any jewels on it.
There are no such thing as a tiny shabby ring in this world.
All rings are shiny and beautiful.
Ahjussi.
Can we take a little break before we go any further?
You must be exhausted.
No, I'll be fine after I get a little rest.
What are you going to do if you can't find the ring?
That's the song I was going to sing on the day of the festival.
Ahjussi, are you familiar with that group?
No, I've never seen them before.
- You even know how to dance? - I'm a real good dancer.
You might even fall for me once you've seen me dance.
Maybe you're right.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Happy birthday.
I found the rainbow flower.
It's a miracle.
- Try it on. - Huh?
Oh, but I don't have a mirror. So I'll put it on later.
I'll put it on for you.
I told you that I'll try it on later!
Okay.
Here.
Here, get on.
We'll be late if we linger.
It's okay. I'm really heavy.
It's fine.
Are you going to keep your mother up all night?
Get on.
There we go.
- You know what, Ahjussi? - Please don't talk. You're heavy, after all.
- I'll get down. - I'm just kidding.
It's okay if you're heavy, so get well soon.
Ahjussi.
You'll probably be lonely if I'm not around, right?
Mmm... I guess it'd be a little boring.
You should pursue surgery.
If we wait any longer, it will be difficult to treat through surgery.
Is it very risky?
Although the success rate isn't very high
but I can't make any guarantees if we keep waiting in her present condition.
In Hae...
These are the clothes you cherished the most.
Let's not wear your hospital gown...
but let's wear these now, okay?
Mother.
- You too, now... - I'm sorry.
I should have...
Mother.
Please don't do this. Please.
Mother!
In Hae!
- In Hae! - In Hae.
In Hae!
Mom, I don't want to get surgery!
Huh? Not yet...
Not yet!
Then, a few days. Let's just do it in a few days!
Mom!
Lee In Hae.
How old are you now?
T-twenty years old.
I'm going to enter university soon.
In Hae. What on earth are you talking about?
Wait...
Do you know what year it is?
2...003.
- In Hae. - You... really don't remember?
Hyun Joon.
Who's... that?
Hyun Joon.
In Hae.
What's wrong? Is something the matter?
You... can recognize me?
Did you have a dream?
Come here.
Are... you hurt anywhere?
Do you... remember the accident?
Of course.
You grabbed hold of me.
You holding me in your arms...
The sound of your breath...
How could... I forget that?
Thank you for recognizing me.
I must not cut it.
In Hae has woken up, but how come I feel this way?
Tomorrow's my surgery day...
but there are still so many things I didn't get to do yet.
Right.
Want to come along?
They're pretty, aren't they?
I picked out irises because they mean good news.
I was going to buy rainbow-colored flowers in the meaning of happiness...
Do you know about rainbow-colored flowers?
Just wake up now. It's boring talking to myself.
You've come?
In Hae, get up.
You have to get your tests done.
Mom, my head hurts.
How does it hurt? Should I call a doctor?
My head... feels so heavy.
It feels so dark in there...
It feels like... I could remember something...
You remembered everything last night, In Hae.
Don't try to force it.
The doctor said that it will only get worse if you stress yourself.
- Mother. - At this rate, I'll really...
If I can't remember anything...
What do I do?
Don't worry.
Ahjussi, what are you doing?
I'm going to take In Hae.
- Where? - Anywhere.
As long as it's just us, it's fine.
Don't do this!
If we're together, then she'll be able to remember like she did last night.
In Hae is still sick!
- What do you plan to do? - I'm going to take care of her.
Are you a doctor?
Ahjussi.
Weren't you hoping that she would wake up safely?
- You don't know. - Yes, I do.
What do you know?
Who are you to meddle in our business?
After some time passes...
In Hae will come to understand, too.
And if In Hae can't remember...
Are you not going to love her?
Just because she can't remember doesn't mean those times together go away.
Don't concern yourself with other adults' business.
Just because I'm young...
doesn't mean my heart is immature, too!
Ahjussi.
You weren't asleep?
I was sleeping and woke up.
I had a dream, you see.
Were you angry because I blew up at you earlier?
No.
Thank you for the ring.
Ahjussi...
I want to go the seaside.
Right now?
Sleep some more.
Please.
I don't have much time.
Are you satisfied now?
But why did you suddenly want to see the ocean?
I heard... sounds in my dream.
What sounds?
Sounds coming from the great depths of the ocean.
A dolphin.
It said it was traveling far away, so it asked to meet me here.
After I thought about it... I realized that you were right.
Just because she can't remember...
It doesn't mean our times together go away with it.
I'll remain... and remember for In Hae, too.
This won't do. Let's go inside somewhere.
I want to see the sunrise.
All right, then.
Wait here for a bit, then. I'll buy us something warm.
Although there were no human casualties, the ocean life and dolphins were affected...
The dolphins were returning to Korea from the Pacific Ocean.
Currently the Coast Guard are on the scene
and working at disaster control, but it is hard to say how far the crude oil spill has spread.
So Yeol.
Did you really...
hear a dolphin sound in your dreams last night?
Can you really hear sounds that other people can't hear?
This is a stage...
And that's a stage light.
Where you're standing right now is in the audience.
You're the only audience member in attendance.
It could be that this is my first and last performance.
So I'd really like for you to see it.
- Ahjussi. - Let's go back, So Yeol.
We've come too far.
Like you said, Ahjussi...
I can hear sounds that others can't.
I heard your voice calling my name.
Even if I clap my hands over my ears, I can still hear your voice clearly.
What are you talking about?
Tell me so that I can understand.
So...
Your voice...
I'm the only one who can hear it!
I'm sorry.
I couldn't tell you.
In Hae.
There are injured victims here!
It's fine. You can let go now!
In Hae!
- In Hae! - You mustn't do this!
Save my child!
My child.
[Park So Yeol, fasting]
I know, too. I know why I can hear your voice.
That makes no sense.
I don't believe it.
But... it's true!
Last night...
In Hae and I definitely talked last night.
That's...
- Because In Hae was still stick. - There's no way.
I'm going to check myself.
- Ahjussi... - Let go of me!
Why?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Because I was too scared.
Because I might be left behind alone...
Then you shouldn't have said that!
I'll be by your side from now on.
They say I have no hope.
The surgery's success rate isn't very high...
Get up. Let's go to the hospital.
- I'm going to die anyway! - Don't talk so carelessly!
If I'm with you, Ahjussi...
I forget that I'm sick...
and I feel like a normal, healthy girl.
You feel the same way, too!
- When you're with me... - You're right.
I forget too when I'm with you.
I... I feel like I'm alive.
So...
I momentarily forgot why I was left behind.
I should go see In Hae.
Don't go, Ahjussi!
Those were all excuses!
I want to be with you, Ahjussi!
Because I like being with you...
I don't want to go back!
The tumor is in my brain...
But if I just listen to your voice...
It hurts... it hurts right here.
This is love!
I love you, Ahjussi.
The person I love...
isn't you, So Yeol.
We have to go back to our original places.
You... and me both.
Ahjussi.
Just until I wake up...
Can't you stay by my side?
I don't want to.
You said you'd grant me a wish.
I know. I know about the lilac flowers...
They mean farewell, don't they?
You're wrong.
Ahjussi...
You're going to watch over me, right?
It doesn't mean farewell.
You lost the bet.
Then...
What's your wish?
That you won't... hear my voice anymore.
Forceps.
MP! Connect the pump!
Knife.
I was unconscious for that long?
That's right. When I have to think about how nervous I was these past two weeks...
It felt like I was taking a nap.
I thought that you'd never wake up again...
But seeing how that lady in the next bed woke up
I felt hopeful that you would wake, too.
That was an empty bed. Someone was there?
Yes. She was in a car accident but her boyfriend died at the scene
and she alone survived.
She was in a coma for six months, so people thought that she was dead.
That's tragic for that man.
I'll say.
Right, how are you feeling?
Is there anything you can't remember?
Remember?
That poor woman's memories didn't fully recover.
Still, she was able to laugh and be discharged as healthy...
I remember everything! I was counting down in the surgery room!
That's a relief.
Did I have something like this?
Your classmates must have gotten that for you for your birthday.
Smells like lilac.
Do you even know what season it is? All the lilacs have wilted already.
But it does.
Mom, do you know what the meaning of a lilac flower is?
No. Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
Just because I'm curious.
[Lilac, first love] 'First love?'
How childish.
If I never met you...
I wouldn't have been able to die.
To me, So Yeol...
You're a rainbow-colored flower to me.
Thanks.
Did you leave something behind?
N-no.
Why are you crying?
Hmm?
I wonder...
Why do I keep crying, Mom?
My heart keeps hurting for some strange reason.
So Yeol.
I feel like I'm about to remember something...
but I don't know what it is.
My So Yeol must've had a dream because she was asleep for so long.
Hmm?
A dream?
You usually forget a dream once you're awake.
- We'll end here today. - Good work!
Good work.
[Fifteenth Class, Park So Yeol]
What's that?
[Fifteenth Class, Park So Yeol]
